Rudi Lumanto urged stronger regional cyber resilience across ASEAN and Japan at the ASOCIO Digital & AI Summit 2026 in Jakarta. GMO Cybersecurity by IERAE, Inc. received the ASOCIO AI in Cybersecurity Award 2026 at the same event.
Why it matters
Lumanto stated that connected economies create connected risk, and that national cybersecurity alone is no longer enough. The discussion points to growing interdependence among cloud services, AI systems, digital payments, supply chains and critical infrastructure.
A survey cited at the summit found 87% of respondents ranked AI vulnerabilities as the fastest-growing cyber risk, while 48% of breaches involved a third party. GMO Cybersecurity by IERAE reported a fivefold gain in SOC processing capacity and a 50% cut in Mean Time to Detect, though the survey's methodology and the company's figures were not independently verified.
The players
Rudi Lumanto
Rudi Lumanto delivered the keynote at the ASOCIO Digital & AI Summit 2026 calling for regional cyber resilience.
GMO Cybersecurity by IERAE, Inc.
GMO Cybersecurity by IERAE, Inc. is a Japanese cybersecurity firm and member of the Japan Network Security Association that received the ASOCIO AI in Cybersecurity Award 2026.
The details
Lumanto highlighted that cloud services, AI systems, digital payments, supply chains and critical infrastructure are increasingly interconnected across the region. GMO Cybersecurity by IERAE, Inc., a member of the Japan Network Security Association, integrates AI agents into its Security Operations Center and Attack Surface Management operations.
Timeline
The ASOCIO Digital & AI Summit 2026 was held in Jakarta over three days.
Rudi Lumanto's keynote and the related press release were issued on November 4, 2026.
Regional Framework
The discussion extends the work of the ASEAN Japan Cybersecurity Community Alliance, which operates a Working Group on Threat Intelligence and a Business Matching Program linking cybersecurity communities across ASEAN and Japan. Lumanto's call for coordinated defense reflects that framework's push to share threat intelligence across borders.
Organizations relying on cloud services, digital payments and third-party vendors face heightened exposure, since nearly half of breaches involve a third party. Security teams may need to reassess AI-related vulnerabilities as they adopt automated detection and testing tools.
The takeaway
Organizations should audit third-party relationships and AI-driven systems together, since interconnected supply chains and cloud services now shape the risk profile of most breaches. Coordinated threat intelligence sharing across borders is increasingly treated as a necessary defense.
